Frequently Asked Questions
What is the /newplaylist command?expand_more
Type /newplaylist in the chat to start a guided conversation. The AI will ask you about genre, mood, style, language, and Suno model — then generate your 20-song playlist.
How many credits does a full playlist cost?expand_more
For a 20-song vocal playlist: song generation is 55 credits. With render, add 65 base + background cost by mode — e.g. 125 credits total for songs + single-image render (55 + 65 + 5). Upload your own assets and pay 65 render credits only. Optional captions: +20 (20 songs) or +30 (40 songs).
What happens if I run out of credits?expand_more
Your creation pauses — nothing is lost. Grab a one-time credit pack from your dashboard to top up instantly and continue right where you left off.
Can I use my own images or videos as backgrounds?expand_more
Yes. On the render screen, choose user-provided assets instead of auto-generated backgrounds. You pay only the 65-credit render job (plus optional captions) — no background generation charge.
How long does rendering take?expand_more
Most playlists render in 5–15 minutes depending on the render mode and server load. Professional and Ultimate plan users receive priority rendering queue access.
How do I connect my YouTube channel?expand_more
Go to Settings → Integrations → YouTube and authorize via Google OAuth. Once connected, PlaylistCraft can publish directly to your channel with auto-generated titles, descriptions, and thumbnails.
